It’s been all about upsets at the Southern Conference Tournament. Now, the fifth-seeded Furman Paladins will battle the sixth-seeded Wofford Terriers with a single automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament on the line.
Despite being among the conference’s top defensive teams, our Wofford vs Furman predictions have these teams putting up enough points to topple the Over.
Read on for my college basketball picks ahead of this 7 p.m. tip on Monday, March 10 at Harrah's Cherokee Center in Asheville, North Carolina.
Wofford vs Furman prediction
Who will win Wofford vs Furman?
The Furman Paladins are on a roll, having reeled off six straight wins, including the 80-77 OT shocker over Chattanooga to get here. They’ve lived in the pressure cooker for the last few weeks, as four of their last six wins have been by single digits. One of those wins was against the Wofford Terriers, a close 78-75 decision on March 1.
The Terriers haven’t faced much resistance in the SoCon Tournament, wiping out both East Tennessee State and VMI by double figures. Each of their last five losses has been by single digits, so closing out the tight contests hasn’t been their forte.
I like Furman carrying the semifinal momentum into Monday and emerging with a trip to the dance.
My best bet

My analysis
Both teams were in the middle of the pack in the Southern Conference, though Furman has the best record overall, going 25-8 during the season.
The Paladins bring a Top-3 scoring conference offense and defense to the table. The D was a big factor when dumping the Terriers this year, holding Wofford to a rough 8-for-30 shooting from downtown.
Wofford finished just below the Paladins on the conference table at 10-8, and while its record was just 18-15 on the year, the Terriers match up quite well statistically to Furman.
The Terriers are a Top-5 scoring unit in the SoCon, averaging 74.8 points per game, and fourth in scoring defense at 69.4. They’ve held opponents to an average of 62.5 points over the SoCon Tournament, but this will be their biggest test yet.
It’s a close one to call, but the total is a fair number, and slightly low considering how these teams have fared in the tournament and in their lone head-to-head.
The Paladins had a 17-13-0 Over record during the year, the second-best mark in the conference, trailed by Wofford in third at 18-14-1. Wofford has averaged 78.5 points across their two games, and Furman has hit the 80-point plateau in both, averaging 87.5 points.
